Donations top $100 million
The ice bucket challenge raises over $100 million to date for ALS. During the same period last year, July 29, 2013 to August, 29 2013, the ALS Association raised $2.8 million. In the fiscal year 2014, the organization raised approximately $26.3 million in total, which means the amount raised in several months is quadruple that of what was raised last year. ALS President and CEO Barbara Newhouse:
The word gratitude doesn’t do enough to express what we are feeling right now.
